    override fun onCreateView(...): View? {
        val root = inflator.inflator(R>layout.fragment_home, container, false)
        textView = ??
        return root
    }

root.getById(R.id.text_home)
findViewByID(R.id.text_home)
root.findViewById(R.id.text_home)

Q18. How would you retrieve the value of a user’s email from SharedPreferences while ensuring that the returned value is not null?

getPreferances(this).getString(Email,””)
getDefaultSharedPrefarances(this).getString(EMAIL,null)
getDefaultSharedPreferances(this).getString(EMAIL,””)
getPreferances(this).getString(EMAIL,null)

Explanation: In Method "getDefaultSharedPrefarances(this).getString()" The Second parameter is passed so that it can be returned, in case the key doesn't exist. So we need to pass an empty string to be returned in case the key doesn't exist.

Q19. Why is it problematic to define sizes using pixels on Android?

Although screen pixel density varies, this does not impact the use of pixels to define sizes.
Large devices always have more pixels, so your UI elements will be affected if you define them with pixels.
The same number of pixels may correspond to different physical sizes, affecting the appearance of your UI elements.
Different devices have different understandings of what a pixel is, affecting the appearance of your UI elements

Q29. You want to open the default Dialer app on a device. What is wrong with this code?

val dialerIntent = Intent()
val et = findViewById(R.id.some_edit_text)
dialerIntent.action = Intent.ACTION_DIAL
dialerIntent.data = Uri.parse("tel:" + et.getText()?.toString())
startActivity(dialerIntent)

startActivityWithResult() should be used instead of startActivity() when using Intent.ACTION_DIAL.
For Intent.ACTION_DIAL, the Intent option Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK must be added when using this dialerIntent.
The dialerIntent will cause an ActivityNotFoundException to be thrown on devices that do not support Intent.ACTION_DIAL.
The permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE must be requested first before Intent.ACTION_DIAL can be used.

Q30. When should you store files in the `/assets` directory?

You have full control over the user experience. The app that handles the camera intent will respect your design choices.
You do not have to design the UI. The app that handles the camera intent will provide the UI.

The Application class is created each time a new Activity is launched, making it ideal for initialization code.
The Application class is created each time a background service is called, making it ideal for initialization code.
